COKE MEN STARTLED.
Tho Carnegics Decide 90 Grant the
Advance Demanded.

PITTsBURG. June 13-Thero is conster-
nation among the coke operators, both in
and out Of the coke syndicate, in conse-
quencc of the Frick Coke company.
otherwise known as Carnegie, Phipps ~
Co., ordering resumption Of work ut
their various coke plants, which are rated
rs producing one.fourth of the total out
put of coke produced by the entire syndi-
cate, and the granting of the advance
demanded by their striking employees,
regardless of the interests Of other pro
ducers. The operators are loud in their
denunciation Of the firm, charging them
with taking step that will ruin the
business and break up the syndicate The
Carncgics own n majority of the stock
in the H. 9. Frick Coke Company, and
they want coke and want it badly.
Several days ago Henry Phipps informed
ii. G. Prick, the manager OF the company,
that the coke operators had better grant
the advance demanded by the workmcn
In the Conncllsvillo region, Mr. Prick
was of u different mind. AS II leading
member Of the syndicate he had joined
with the other operators, and had partial.
ly refused to grant any advance on the
ground that an advance could not bogiyen
as the question of wages could not be
settled by arbitration, and he was in duty
bound to insist along with his associates
in the syndicate, that the award be accept
Cd The Can.egies still insisted that the
strike at the works in which they were
interested at least must close, and Mr..
Prick rendered his resignation. The Car
ncgics cast all feeling aside and elected
Henry j, Phipps, Jr., Of Carnegie Bros,
Il Co, manager instead. Mr.. Phipps
yesterday notified his superintendent 10
grant an advance of IL per cent and
work was resumed at most of their ovens
to-day. The members OF the syndicate
held meeting to consider the matter, but
the news has come to them like clap OF
thunder, and they have not as yet taken
any action. The coolest heads are in
council, but as whole the coke men are
demoralized. Another meeting Of the
syndicate will be held on Monday, and no
hasty action will be taken. A member Of
the firm said that the seven furnaces Mt
Braddock are closed down for want of
coke, and that the Edgar Thompson
Steel works would have been compelled
to close in few days had they not de-
cided to put the Frick Coke company's
ovens in operation The firm has large
orders on hand which they could not
postpone. They had not decided to start
up the coke ovens in opposition to any
OF the coke operators, but were compelled
to do so In the interest of their iron and
steel business. 1t was rumored that j.
M. Schoonmakor & Co., were also about
70 grant the advance.

Irish Crimes act amendment bill to the
House.

notice would be on paper to night. He
refused to name the period he would ask
the committee to fix for reporting the
bill. Smiths motion proposes that the
crimes bill be reported by the 18th inst.
The Parnellites will oppose the motion
by every means in their power, alleging
that it is unprecedented. The unionists

the adoption of the section would bring
upon them. The present proposal was a
decent sham. Smith arose to speak amid
Parnell cries of "cloture," ''cloture -
